Go, Christy, Go!
Christy Turlington hasn’t modeled full time since ’95, and now follows fashion “very, very little.” She says of her old job and industry, “After so many years, the novelty has worn off. I can appreciate it, but I don’t covet any fashion items at all.”
Instead, she covets getting the word out about her charity Every Mother Counts — which is the only reason she started tweeting. “I’m not a tweeter by nature,” she told AP, “but I was asked to start – or convinced – to start right before my film [No Woman, No Cry, about at-risk pregnant women in four parts of the world] came out last year.” It’s also the reason she’s running the New York City marathon this Sunday.
“In maternal health, distance makes a huge difference, and this is a perfect way to explain that. 5K is the minimum distance a woman has to walk to get to a clinic in many places, and in many places that could be 35K.” Good reason to run, and tweet… and eat.
“It’s kind of nice to say you have to eat carbs,” the former model admits. “That’s my job right now.”
